These are Charlie Brown peices from behind the house about 300 yds from the cumberland river along the high banks along the flood plain Lot of it is definitely not sourced from anywhere around here Ancient trade route stuff. Everything from Dalton/trans paleo stuff to missisippian stuff. Got a obsidian point found down back their that is in my shadow box of better stuff. Alot t of the more colorful and varied material stuff in the shadow box is from their. Obsidian definitely is not from anywhere east of the rockies. Point on lower left corner is obsidian Some "better" stuff St Charles dovetail, Big red thumb scraper Tiger striped thumb scraper dovetail touching tiger striped scraper 3 bottom center peices All from down back also Dalton fish tail in top center was a heartbreaker when I picked it up And it had what looks like an impact fracture Still a nice peice to find.

Other than the penny in the picture, you guys ever find any copper tools, knives, hatched heads etc.? Wondered if anything from the copper mines in the U.P. of Mich had gotten down there? Have a couple of friends that have found that stuff up here, Mich/Wi. border country. Have also found stone arrow/spear heads.

A neighbor of mine was involved with excavating a couple of villages on the lower Manistee River. They found a single copper point..

Keep posting your finds guys! Love this stuff. I can go out and find flint flakes and pieces of pottery most any time, but finding part of an actual point or blade, much less a whole one, is a very rare occurrence.

This thread is great, I'm envious of y'all finding such awesome points. I know nothing about artifacts but enjoy looking for them. Maybe one of you could identify what I've been finding. Nearly all have come from the same location about 10 acres or from my lawn. Location is Ozark Plateau region of northeast Oklahoma, Adair County. I'm sure most of it is nothing but if it looks worked I pick it up.

Slumlord, it's so muddy here, you can't even walk across a field. Are you sure you're in these parts?

hunting here in SE Ohio. About 4000-5000 acres right now. Maybe 20 different hot spots. Logistically impossible to cover it all. The landowner has about18,000 tillable he runs. He still believes in plowing.
